Question 29.
Following is the data regarding annual net life insurance premium. Using binomial expansion method estimate the premium at the age 30 and 45

Known values are 4
∴ (y – 1)4 = 0
y4 – 4y3 + 6y2 – 4y1 + y0 = 0 ……….. (1)
Second equation can be obtained by increasing suffixes of each term of ‘y’ by 1 and let the co-efficient same
y5 – 4y4 + 6y3 – 4y2 + y1 = 0 ………… (2)
Substitute y values in equation (1)
2256 – 4(1996) + 6y2 – 4(1581) + 1426 = 0
2256 – 7984 + 6y2 – 6324 + 1426 = 0
6y2 – 10626 = 0
y2 = $$\frac { 10626 }{ 6 }$$
y2 = 1771
Now substitute y values in equation (2)
y5 – 4(2256) + 6(1996) – 4(1771) + 1581 = 0
y5 – 9024 + 11976 – 7084 + 1581 = 0
y5 – 2551 = 0
y5 = 2551
Premium for age 30 is 1771
Premium for age 45 is 2551

Question 30.
On an average a typist makes 2 mistakes per page. Find the probability that a page typed by him has
(i) 2 mistakes
(ii) At most one mistake
Ans.
Let X=Number of mistakes λ = 2
The PMF is
P(X) = $$\frac{e^{-2} 2^{x}}{x !}$$ when x = 0,1,2 …… ∞

(i) p(2 mistakes) = p(X = 2)
p(X) = $$\frac{e^{-2} \cdot 2^{2}}{2 !}$$ = $$\frac{(0.1353) 4}{2}$$ = 0.2706

(ii) p(at most 1 mstake) = p(X ≤ 1)
= P(0) + p(1)
p(X) = $$\frac{e^{-2} \cdot 2^{0}}{0 !}+\frac{e^{-2} \cdot 2^{1}}{1 !}$$ = 0.1353 + 0.2706 = 0.4059

H0 = Mean weight of boys and girls is same µ1 = µ2
H1 = Mean weight of boys less than girls µ1 < µ2

It is lower tailed test
C.L = -1.65
-1.65 > -2 is rejected
Conclusion: Mean weight of boys is less than mean weight of girls

Question 33.
A specified brand of automobile tyre is known to have an average life of 40000 km. a random sample of 10 tyres of this brand, when tested resulted in the average life of 39000km and SD 1200 km. at 1% l.o.s., what is your conclusion regarding average life of tyres?
µ = 40000km, n = 10, X̄ = 39000km, SD{s) = 1200kin
H0 = Average life of tyres = 40,000km µ = 40,000
H1 = Average life of tyres ≠ 40,000km µ ≠ 40,000

The d.f is n – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9
It is two tailed test
L0S = 1%,
CV = -2.82 and 2.82
tcal value lies between the critical values
H0 is accepted

X̿ = $$\frac{\sum \bar{X}}{n}=\frac{300}{6}$$ = 50
R̄ = $$\frac{\sum R}{n}=\frac{30}{6}$$ = 50
CL = X̿ = 50 = 50 – 3.645 = 46.355
UCL = X̿ + A2R̄ = 50 + (0.729 × 5) = 50 + 3.645 = 53.645
Plotted points are with in limits Production is under control

Question 35.
Solve the following LPP graphically
Max Z = 100X + 170Y
s.t. 2X + 3Y ≤ 36
X + 2Y ≤ 20
And X ,Y ≥ 0
Z = 100X + 170Y
2X + 3Y = 36
X + 2Y = 20
Equation 2X + 3Y = 36
If X = 0
2(0) + 3Y = 36 ⇒ 3Y = 36 ⇒ Y = 36/3 ⇒ Y = 12
If Y = 0
2Y + 3(0) = 36 ⇒ 2X = 36 ⇒ Y = 36/2 = 18
Points (0,12) and (18,0)
Equation X + 2Y = 20
If X = 0
0 + 2Y = 20 ⇒ 2Y = 20 ⇒ Y = 20/2 ⇒ Y = 10
If Y = 0
X + 2(0) = 20 ⇒ X = 20
Points, (0,10) and (20,0)

Corner points Z = 100X + 170Y value
A (0,10) Z = 100(0) + 170(10) = 1700
B (11,5) Z = 100(11) + 170(5) = 1950 (Max)
C (18,0) Z = 100(18) + 170(0) = 1800
0(0,0) Z = 100(0) + 170(0) = 0
LPP is maximized at (11,5)
The optimal solution is X = 11, Y = 5

Question 37.
Calculate GRR and NRR for the following data and comment on the result

Question 38.
For the following data find Laspeyer’s, Paasche’s and Dorbish – Bowley’s price index numbers

Laspeyre’s Price Index Number = $$\frac{\sum p_{1} q_{0}}{\sum p_{0} q_{0}}$$ × 100 = $$\frac{228}{200}$$ × 100 = 1.14 × 100 = 114
∴ 14% of the price is increased is the current year when compared to base year.
Paasche’s Price Index Number = $$\frac{\sum p_{1} q_{1}}{\sum p_{0} q_{1}}$$ × 100 = $$\frac{209}{190}$$ × 100 = 1.10 × 100 = 110
∴ 10% if the price is increased in the current year when compared to base year.

∴ 12% the price is increased in the current year when compared to base year.

Question 39.
For the following data fit a straight line trend and find trend values also estimate the production of 2017

a = $$\frac{\Sigma y}{n}=\frac{630}{7}$$ = 90
b = $$\frac{\sum x y}{\sum x^{2}}=\frac{84}{28}$$ = 3
Trend equation y = 90 + 3x
Production for 2017 is
x = 4
y = 90 + (3) (4) = 90 + 12 = 102
Production for 2017 is 102 tons.

Let X = The number of heads obtained in toss of 5 coins
Then n = 5 p = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ q = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$
The p.m.f is p(x) = 5cx $$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{x}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{5-x}$$ Where x = 0,1,2, ……… 5

The expected frequency distribution of number of number of heads is

(B) Seventy accidents that have occurred in a state in a week are tabulated as follows

Test whether accidents occurs uniformly through out the week (given K2 = 16.81)
H0 : Accidents occur uniformly throughout the week
H1 : Accidents not occur uniformly throughout the week
On the basis of null hypothesis the expected frequencies are $$\frac { 70 }{ 7 }$$ = 10 for all days
Applying χ2 – test

CV = k2 = 16.81
Since χ2cal value lies in acceptance region
Here χ2cal < k2
H0 is accepted
Conclusion: accidents occur uniformly throughout the week.

(i) X ≥ 105,
(ii) 90 ≤ X ≤ 110
Mean (µ) = 100 SD (σ) = 5

(i) P(x ≥ 105) then x = 1.5
z = $$\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$$ = p$$\left(\frac{x-100}{5} \geq \frac{105-100}{5}\right)$$
P(Z ≥ 1) = Area from 1 tO co = 0.1587

(ii) 90 ≤ x ≤ 110
p$$\left(\frac{90-100}{5} \leq \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{110-100}{5}\right)$$ = p(-2 ≤ z ≤ 2)
= (Area from -2 to ∞) – (Area from 2 to ∞)
